I'm trying to built a website with 3 frames: one on the top, one left (for a menu) and one to put the actual text and images in.this is what I have so far, but it doesn't seem to work. <html><head><title>Ÿsbeer </title></head><frameset rows="30%,70%"><frame src="topheader.htm"><frameset cols="17%,83%"><frame src="menubar.htm"><frame src="main.htm"></frameset></frameset></html>EDIT:this is what I get in internet explorer:{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1043{\fonttbl{\f0\froman\fcharset0 Times New Roman;}{\f1\fswiss\fcharset0 Arial;}} {\*\generator Msftedit 5.41.15.1507;}\viewkind4\uc1\pard\f0\fs24 \par \par \par \par \par \line \line \line \line \line \line \par \f1\fs20\par \par } The separate frames are just a background image so far and seem to work fine in my browser. I'm quite new to html, so I guess it's a stupid mistake I made... but I can't find out what it is...anyone knows what the problem could be?thanks :)

It worked ok for me :)

<html><head><title>Ÿsbeer </title></head><frameset rows="30%,70%"><frame src="http://www.google.com"><frameset cols="17%,83%"><frame src="http://www.yahoo.com"><frame src="http://www.ebay.com"></frameset></frameset></html>

Is your problem with the navigation frame, ie changing pages?see this page: http://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?fi...rame_navigation

I tried it again with all the sites in the frames like you did, but I still get:"{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1043{\fonttbl{\f0\froman\fcharset0 Times New Roman;}{\f1\fswiss\fcharset0 Arial;}} {\*\generator Msftedit 5.41.15.1507;}\viewkind4\uc1\pard\f0\fs24 \par \par \par \par \par \line \line \line \line \line \line \par \f1\fs20\par \par } "which doesn't make sense to me :)

Me Neither :) What Browser are you using to view the page?Are you viewing the page locally or on a server?I viewed the page locally using Internet Explorer and FireFox and it worked fine :)

I am viewing te page by saving the file as a .html file, and then opening it in internet explorer. could that be the problem?

No that's what i done, sorry but i'm not sure how to help.You could try putting the {\rtf1\ansi\ message into google and see what it produces, someone else migh have had the same problemor try downloading firefox and see if it displays ok then. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/

I tried the link to your site and it tried to download a file. maybe you should check that. :) Edit: Ok, whoa, I just downloaded that file that you linked to; is that supposed to be your web page? if it is, something is really messed up. try your own link, download the file, and open it in notepad. see what I mean? :):) LG

This could be just crazy idea, but I still suspect the font which is causing this error, try doing this, open a new notepad, set a simple font like"arial" or Times New Roman, and type the HTML code again and save that file. then try opening it. may be u'll get it... :)

@ little goat: I still get those weird lines when I use my link, it doesn't try to download anything... :) I'm curious about what that file looks like :) but I can't find it...@ pulpfiction: I already changed the font into arial, but I'll try retyping it :)EDIT: nope, still nothing :blink:

Ok try thisCopy the code belowopen notepad and paste in the code.save as frame.htm on your c: drive *do not save on the server*Open with Internet Explorer.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd"><html><head><title>hello</title></head><frameset rows="30%,70%"><frame src="http://www.google.com"><frameset cols="17%,83%"><frame src="http://www.yahoo.com"><frame src="http://www.ebay.com"></frameset></frameset></html>

The page above passed w3 validation and works ok on my machine. Maybe the problem is with the server or because a dtd wasn't specified.

I have uploaded the page here, see if you can view it ok: http://scott100.atspace.com/frame.htmdtd - It's the very first thing you should put on a webpage, it tells the browser what specification the page uses, in this case frames, for more info: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_doctype.asp

OMG :) it worked :blink: well, not imediatly... first I made the file, then I saved it as a .html file. I reopened it imediatly and saw that all kinds of weird things were put into it ( a lot of "/par" and "{" ) so I deleted all that and saved it again. Then it worked. It seems like an odd way of getting it like it should be to me, but it works now ! :) thanks for helping me out ! :)

Folks - all that \par and {} business indicates the original file was saved as an RTF and not plain text. Whatever editor you are using you should turn off Rich Text and/or save as plain text (if the editor has a save as HTML that should also work).RTF is great for some things - terrible for others.
